Just how big is this patch? Never had a problem on my bloatware-infused S4 before, but it says I'm out of space. Please don't make me delete BG2, Blizz!!!
One of the great things I love about hearthstone is its incredibly small internet usage (Usually less than 100kb per game) and even with a connection of only 10-20 kb/s you are still able to play the game well.
This last update with a size of a little over 1GB completely kills me... and before you say (just get a better inet connection nub) here my explanation. Im a tropical biologist working at a research station in the savannas of north eastern Ivory Coast, the next city is 200km away and with it electricity etc. Everything we get is through our own solar station and a small satelite dish for internet (via satelite... duh). This allows us a connection of roughly 100kb/s (with good weather) capped at 12 GB per month for the entire station, meaning that each person has roughly 40-60mb they can use per day... The TGT expansion was already pushing it but I managed to pull it off since it was still only a fraction of the size from this patch.
So WHY... WHY is this patch so incredibly large... Guess im gonna have to wait two month to install it when im back in germany... I needs my Hearthstone...
ps. answers like: "you want some cheese with your whine" are completely acceptable
Why don't you get a friend to post you the apk , ipa or exe file. If they sent it today you should have it in two weeks or so. You can simply install it on your device then.
First of all thanks for an actual constructive comment (really didnt expect any), but im not quite sure what you mean: wouldnt that file be just as big (getting a 1gb email is not really gonna help)? If you mean that they should sent it by post that is virtually impossible since the closest postal adress is in the next city and it takes literally months for something to be sent from germany to here (and even then its a 50/50 for it not to get lost or stolen)

How did you land that job buddy??
Even though its a bit offtopic: I did my Bachelors and Master in Biology with a focus in tropical biology / behaviour and ecoloy and after conducting my master thesis at the research station in Ivory Coast I managed to secure the financing for a 3 year PhD study in the field, which is what im doing now. If your bored feel free to check out the wiki article about the station :)
Since I dont want to miss a card back (been playing since beta) I have given my acc details to a f2p friend that just started to have some fun with my nearly full collection and to get me my cardback :)

I heard that they updated the engine to Unity 5, which is why the patch is so huge.
Bad players whine.
Good players adapt.

The update has made the game much less battery intensive on my phone. I can probably play twice as many games before getting a battery warning.
which never said how big the patch is..
I think i saw they were adapting to Unity 5 somewhere. With this change we can see easier changes to the UI etc.
Not sure if you havent read the threat or if your sarcasm level is OVER 9000!
I have a very large external hard drive... enough said.
